Every couple wants their wedding to portray them and for everyone to have a wonderful time; whether that be dancing all night, drinking and mingling around the bar or just enjoying other guest's company. What a lot of couples are not aware of is that the atmosphere of the wedding depends on the newlyweds; allow me to explain myself.
Majority of everyone who is at the event are there because they are happy for the couple and excited to celebrate their love. So when the bride and groom are ripping up the dance floor, it makes the guests want to dance as well, to celebrate with them. When you have a bride and groom who are MIA most of the night, the bride with her girlfriends the groom at the bar most of the time, regardless of what entertainment you have, the best dj or most expensive band, the event turns into a dinner people are attending and they don't enjoy themselves. The entertainment does not make the night, yes it has a pretty big role but it is the couple who make the night. No guest wants to see a bride or a groom running around chasing their partner because they need to do their first dance or cut the cake. The couple should be together most of the night, not all of the night, most of the night. There is so much going on that you need to keep each other calm and make sure to enjoy what you have worked so many months and/or years for. Plus, if you need someone to run around and find your partner, have a bridal partner member do it, that way in case your partner does show up you're ready.
I also agree that dancing is not for everyone, but on this day, make it more your thing than normal because it's one of the happiest days of your life. Leaving your partner on the dance floor to get wasted with your friends at the bar is not an option on this day. Not only does that look bad, but getting wasted at your wedding, in my opinion, is by far the worst decision ever. You spend so much money and time planning this elaborate event to celebrate your nuptials and make amazing memories, not remembering any or most of the day is not acceptable. It is the one time in your life where you should not get wasted. Don't misunderstand me, drink but don't lose all self control, unable to walk and knock out before having to cut the cake leaving your partner alone the rest of the night, that is unacceptable.
So, my best advice to all engaged couples is, enjoy your night, and if your OCD when it comes to planning and your wedding, hire a "Day of" planner, let them stress out for you, at least they would know how to fix a situation should it arise and you wouldn't have to leave the dance floor. Running around like a headless chicken on your wedding day trying to find your partner, the head waiter or the dj is not a job for the bride or groom. Enjoy your day so that your guests enjoy it as much as you do.
